Creep

Creep Tests and Study of Processes Occurring upon Creep Deformation of Materials.
The research infrastructure of the Institute provides a unique capacity of almost 40 creep devices suitable for identification of creep characteristics, such as the time until rupture, creep rate or overall creep elongation. Both tension and compression experiments are possible, under controlled load and stress, within the temperature range from 20°C to 1,000°C (commonly). The two most recently installed devices enable carrying out experiments at the temperature up to 1,400°C, either in vacuum or in protective (modified) atmosphere. There are also devices for the small punch test available.
